"Nude Woman Reading," Robert Delaunay, 1915.
Delaunay (1885-1941) was one of the founders of Orphism, a short-lived style of art that was a bridge between Cubism and Abstract Art.
He didn't do many nudes, but he painted nine variations on this scene with varying degrees of abstraction. This is pretty representational; although she's fairly abstract, we get enough with her hair and the fat rolls on her side that make her seem genuine and real. The oval framing of the painting accentuates her curve. And the bold colors are definitely Delaunay; he loved experimenting with color and hue.
This is technically a sort of semi-abstract, but nicely captures a moment alone when a woman, either dressing or un-, is taken by something on the page before her.
From the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.
